Oh, so that's where the gas cap goes when filling up! I've owned both a SGS and RG and at 6'1" I much prefer the road glide. Not only do I feel less cramped but the steering feels lighter and I notice a huge difference between the two fairing in terms of wind protection and buffeting. As you, said they are both great touring bikes and I would also have no issues touring on either one. At the end of the day I would feel less fatigued on the RG. Thanks for the review.

I have a 2022 Road Glide, though it is a heavier bike than the Street Glide it handles so much easier in slow turns in parking lots and gas stations. This is due to the frame mounted fairing which keeps the fairing weight off of the forks. The steering is very light and maneuverable vs the Street Glide where the fairing weight is on the front end forks. Riding this bike I found at speeds below 50 mph the bike is very maneuverable with little wind buffeting, but over 50 mph wind buffeting is tiresome due to the short windshield that comes with the bike. A higher shield or wind deflecting windshield will solve this problem. One other area to improve is the harshness of the rear shocks. Great for smooth roads, but I fell it on rougher roads. Probably will get a legends adjustable shock system. I've had 5 bikes over the years including a 2012 Street Glide, the Road Glide is outstanding in power and capability. Now I wish it would just stop snowing!

I love your reviews! I'm a tall 6ft and my 2017 Streetglide was awesome but I couldn't deal with the wind buffeting(10-inch windsplitter). I bought a 2021 Roadglide special and haven't had to change the windscreen. After owning a 2020 Low Rider S, 2021 Road King special and now this 2021 Roadglide special I have found my favorite Harley Davidson.

That’s awesome! It’s a great motorcycle. I went on a trip with some buddies to Tennessee and a few of them had Road Glides. No complaints from them. Guy on the low rider s was feeling it though.

Thank you for a great review of the Road Glide special. I really liked all of the camera work, the 0-60's, the handling discussion, seating position, and numerous feature comparisons to recent past years of the Road Glide. This video helped me decide which Road Glide to buy. Great job! Thanks!!

One point to consider of the Road glide vs Street glide ..... that the Roadglide is about 24 lbs heavier. Why?? The fairing and mounts add the extra weight.
